A Crappy Idea

Merging one of the two inevitabilities of life with a third we get this proposal out of Omaha:

Federal TP Tax Floats To Top

This looks more like something Bloomberg might surface for the toilet bowl of New York City. It hardly seems consistent with a pretty red state like Nebraska, but what do I know about that region.

What I do know is that when Omaha needs to build sewers, they won't flush in my house in Texas. When Omaha has a municipal infrastructure issue it doesn't require a federal tax on anything. I don't want to buy an inch of pipe in a system 600 miles away.

For the mayor to seriously believe that this is in any way a federal issue is the problem here, not the product being taxed.

Ah yes . . . the anal-retentive Left always seeks to tax those things for which they have little use. (And when they DO use the stuff, it doesn't stink - dont'cha know.)
